066/394 hybrid build

Can you glue it to the jug first and cut it on the jug ?

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I actually thought of jb welding it to the end of a 4x4. But I'm just gonna hit it with an angle grinder to rough it down then I'll finish it off with a rasp and flat sanding. My *b-wording about it probably took longer. Lol

If you drilled some holes in it you could probably screw it to the end of a 4x4.

 

[Scott0154]

Why wouldn't it?
And I do suppose it would spit back if I don't carb it right.

Great work Jim. Looking forward to your results.

This thing is giving me insomnia. Lol
I just spent most of the entire night....again. but now it's ready to fire up. I'll be doing that after I get some sleep.
The muffler is ugly as hell but it'll look right after I find one that fits better. I also don't have a set of tall 660 handlebars yet.

This is one cool project Jim- it looks excellent so far.

 

[junkman]

I think the later current 660 handlebar may be slightly taller .

Looking great Jim!

Oh yea !

Might have to modify the handlebar to make it work. I'm not sure how much more your goin to need but I doubt an oem one will work.

Are you goin to try to put plastic back on it?

Yes the plastic will be along for the ride. It almost fits as is but I still need to relieve a few edges on the top fin. I'll do that when I rebuild it for porting.

It's storming pretty hard for this area. I'll make a cut as soon as the wind dies down and gives me a moment. I don't mind the rain but it's a total triple whammy right now with that and a booming thunderstorm passing overhead.

You may have saw work or sales ahead with that storm. We have a good deal of wind now and it's still 24 hours out from the big stuff they say is coming. Already at least once big tree down and branches everywhere that I've seen here in Portland.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Here's the first two cuts. This thing is going to be getting a better carb and intake boot along with port work. I don't plan on using it for a work saw, so the port work might be a little on the less conservative side. It was a second slower in the same log than the ported 394 I have.

 

[beaglebriar]

Pretty cool! Can't wait to see it ported.

Jim, you running a little extra oil for break in? I noticed it smoking a little. Looked like it was burning off some break in oil.
Sounds good.

 

[paragonbuilder]

She runs...It's a Stihqavarna!!!

I don't run richer than the proper tune. That was a dirty muffler pulled out of a parts box that I forgot to clean out. It didn't start smoking until it got good and hot.

Did you check stock timing numbers yet?
